APPLE ZUCCHINI BREAD

Apple Zucchini Bread image

Since apples and zucchini are so abundant in this area, it's only natural that the two be used together in one recipe. I really don't know the origin of this bread, but I do know it's been one of my favorites for many years. -Patti Dillingham, Scranton, Arkansas
